Vidar

Since bb640 will no longer be produced after January, does anyone know about a good replacement film type?

Hi Vidar. The best plates ever will be out of the market. I'm wondering about the professionals, what type of holographic material/plates are they using? I will start making holograms on the Slavich PFG-03M plates now, it's the only good substitute.........cheers Ronny 62.66.239.75

I guess you are right Ronny, but I am afraid the expenses will be to high for the average hobby holographer. Does anyone have an indication of the price? I guess the film version is cheaper than glass, but anyway? I am considering giving up, like many other holographers due to lack of reasonable priced film / plates. 195.70.188.204

Slavich makes the PFG-03m and PFG-01 emulsions, which seem to be working great. Its actually relatively cheap, 10 pcs of film (4x5) for around $20 216.67.23.162

I just found a web site for some Chinese holographic plates: www.controloptics.com/featured/holo-price.htm Has anyone tried these yet? I sent them an email asking if they are sensitive at 650 and 660nm. I'm waiting to hear from them. 216.46.36.123

I just got an email back from Control Optics. They said they no longer sell the plates. Oh well, count your blessings: at least diode lasers are cheap. 216.46.36.168
